Speaker 1: Here's Craig Grielou All Calavic and nine year NFL veteran

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: Rob Frederickson.

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 4: So, if you're a somebody within the National Football League,

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: you are, I'm gonna say definitively. You are in town

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: as we speak. So this is not a warning doither

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: of you two, but be careful. People might be listening,

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: because they always listen, especially Paul's good friend Roger, who

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: will be meeting the media at some point of the

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 4: next couple of hours as the annual league meeting comes

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: to a closed Tuesday afternoon. But uh yeah, Rodger Goodell

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: is in town, Paul, did you guys hang out at

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: all since he's been in town since Sunday, or.

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 5: As we call him, Roger, you know, sorry, just you know, ye, yeah,

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 5: someone who's hosted a media session or two with the

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 5: NFL commissioner. Not sure he remember he did call me

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: PAULI pigskin once upon a time. Actually on stage, he

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 5: was playing along. He was being a good sport. But

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 5: you know, Craig, these people are busy. It's sort of

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 5: like yesterday we showed up and I looked at some

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 5: of the itineraries. Okay, am I in any of these

34
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 5: meetings or those meetings or anyone consulting me on anything.

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 5: I'll just be right over here covering the affair. And

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 5: that's basically what we did.

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: I thought maybe you were having some brandy and some

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: cigars with you know, rubbing elbows with all the elites, PAULI.

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 5: I was getting ready for this show. You know, that

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 5: would have been last night, but I was getting ready. No,

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 5: there are those who are in the know and are

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 5: part of the Reindeer games, and there are those of

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 5: us who talk about it on radio. There are our owners,

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 5: general managers, head coaches, personnel people, and then of course

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 5: talking heads all in town. Because this happens every single year.

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 5: Typically Arizona falls amongst the two three year cycle.

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: Bottom line is people love to come to Arizona, love

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: to come to Phoenix. Hey we've got the Women's Final

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 4: four later on this week in downtown Phoenix. So yes,

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: you want something done, come to Arizona, and things happen

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 4: when you step foot in this state.

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: And all the luminaries were there, all the national media

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: types and look this is and it is really an

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 5: intriguing scene. So once you have your media credentials, act

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 5: like you've been there before, rob okay, but you know,

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 5: oh man, look there's Sean McVay walking past, and there's

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 5: Mike Vrabel and Jerry Jones and Adam Schefter and Pat

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 5: McAfee and so, I mean, you know, there's a lot

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 5: of national figures just roaming around and doing their job,

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: which is to what which to provide and try and

61
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 5: satiate this unending appetite by NFL fans. There is no

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: such thing as the offseason. There's always something going on,

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: is perfectly orchestrated until finally after the mandatory mini camp

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 5: in mid June. Then you get about a month respite

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: and it's like, so on.

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: Did you see the photo of all the coaches. Somebody

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: said it appeared as if a couple of guys fractured

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: some ribs sucking it in for the for the photo.

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: Front and center in that photo was Michael Floor sitting

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: next to his brother Matt, and you had the Harbaugh

71
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: brothers as well. So again everyone is in town. Paul

72
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: and I were at the NFC breakfast. It's not really

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: a breakfast, but all the coaches come together in this

74
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: ballroom and each has a table and everyone surrounds the

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: table trying to get questions from all of these head

76
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: coaches and maybe news breaks. We'll get to some of

77
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: that as we continue here on the Cardinals red seat report.

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: But it was a chance to hear from Michael Floor.

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: We haven't heard from him often since he was hired

80
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 4: in January. But big picture, big picture from yesterday's annual

81
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: League meeting, Michael Fluor talking about how he is approaching

82
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 4: his time short time so far as a head coach.

83
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 6: I just try to set an example for these guys

84
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 6: by the way I work, you know, I am more

85
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 6: about kind of work, not words, you know, And so

86
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 6: we're not going to have a bunch of cute sayings

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 6: and slogans all of our buildings.

88
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 7: Stuff like that.

89
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 6: It's just come to work every single day, put your

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 6: best foot forward, and then we'll see where the chips

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 6: fall after that, you know. And typically when those guys

92
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 6: are working and we're working as coach and they see that,

93
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 6: a lot of times good stuff can happen.

94
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: Words actions overwords is kind of what you take from

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: that and lead by example and what you do on

96
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: the field as opposed to what you might be saying,

97
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: although there is some give and take there, rob because

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: what you do say matters within those meeting rooms. Yet

99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: those motivational speaking moments and slogans sometimes and I hear

100
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: Ron Wofully talk about this a lot. Once you get

101
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 4: to the NFL, you're adults. Yeah, and you shouldn't need

102
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: that raw, raw speech from a head coach in order

103
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: to play well on game day.

104
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is the NFL, This is grown

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: man's game. This is in college. And a lot of

106
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: those slogans you know, you got you got them all

107
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: over the facilities in college.

108
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 8: I get it.

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: You know, these high school kids, kids coming out of

110
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: high school, they need a little external motivation, but at

111
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: this level, you don't need that, and the guys don't

112
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: want it.

113
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 8: In fact, they don't. They don't like that. They don't

114
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 8: like that.

115
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: They see that as you know, not genuine, and they

116
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: see it as fake. And so the players, the players

117
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: will respond to you know what Michael LeFleur is able

118
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: to do versus say, and so that that goes a

119
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: long way, and they're really gonna for the most part,

120
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: have their their opening introduction to him coming up with

121
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: mini camps.

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 5: You know, you talk about the learning curve for a

123
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 5: first time NFL head coach Cliff Kingsbury coming out of

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 5: the college game, there was a genuine learning curve, he

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 5: admitted as much. Jonathan Gannon not so much. Been in

126
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: the NFL for a number same with Mike Lafleur. He's

127
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 5: been in the NFL for better than a decade with

128
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 5: two of the best to literally ever do it in

129
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan Sean McVay. So he knows the manner in

130
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 5: which he wants to approach the job and I you know,

131
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: to hear him talk about I'm not coming in with

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 5: any sayings. None of that is going to move the

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 5: meter because it just doesn't. And ultimately that's not going

134
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: to make a difference. The culture you're going to establish

135
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 5: is going to be founded, at least at this point

136
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 5: on the calendar, just around genuine hard work.

137
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 4: And I think that's what players want most of all,

138
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: is you to be genuine and not be someone you're

139
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: not or try to pretend to be someone you're not. Again,

140
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: we are month three into the Mike laflor Era here

141
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 4: with the Arizona Cardinals. Although Mike does have a bit

142
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: of a reputation as far as being in the league

143
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: and being with different stops across the league, as far

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: as teams and who he's learned under. So we take

145
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: it back to Indianapolis and this guy in Combine had

146
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: a chance to sit down with Daniel Jeremiah and Cardinals

147
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: Cover two and we asked him about Lafleura on what

148
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: he knows about him and the potential here in Arizona.

149
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 9: Everybody says two things about him. Number one is a

150
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 9: super good dude, so you can enjoy being around him,

151
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 9: like he's just a good dude to be around. And

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 9: number two is he's he's really really smart, like he's

153
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 9: going to be at the forefront of where things are

154
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 9: and being with McVeigh. I mean, that's the lab, and

155
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 9: that's the lab that's produced basically the offense. The entire

156
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 9: league is running some variation of what they've done there.

157
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 9: So I'm excited to see where he takes this thing.

158
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 9: It's gonna be a real exciting era here. He gonna

159
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 9: get this draft taken care of, get more of a

160
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 9: foundation in place. But I think you'll do a really

161
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 9: good job.

162
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: So that's someone in Daniel Jeremiah who might have had

163
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: a handful of interactions with Michael Laflor. But what about

164
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: guys who have had real hands on experience with Michae Lafoor,

165
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: Guys who have played under Micha Laflor, meaning Kendrick Bourne,

166
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: who Michae Lafoor was his position coach his first two

167
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: seasons in San Francisco, spent three seasons in San Francisco overall,

168
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: Kendrick Bourne on what we might not quite know yet

169
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: about Michae Lafoor but will eventually.

170
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 8: Mike has great energy.

171
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 10: He may not show it at a time, but like

172
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 10: he is very energetic. He he kind of got like

173
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 10: Sean McVay vibes, you know, gonna be high energy, passionate

174
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 10: about the game. And that may be something they know,

175
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 10: but I think he tries to hide it a little bit,

176
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying. He tried to pull he cool.

177
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 10: He is cool, but he got high energy and and

178
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 10: he he knows how to operate a team, and I'm

179
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 10: excited to see how it goes. He's just a special

180
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 10: person in me and the opportunity's given me, it means

181
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 10: a lot. So I'm gonna run through a wall for

182
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 10: that guy.

183
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: Man. Energy does not lack with Kendrick porn paul In.

184
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: It's something that we've seen with Michae Laflora as well.

185
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: But the other word that popped up, and this was

186
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: something that Mike talked about yesterday about what he learned

187
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: under Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay urgency each day, big deal.

188
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: Do what you need to do that day to get

189
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: better and not worry too much about what's to come.

190
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: But have the urgency within that meeting room, the urgency

191
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 4: within that practice to get better for what you hope

192
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: to be successful on Sunday.

193
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 5: You know, if you think of Kyle Shannon, I think

194
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 5: about breaking your own tendencies from week to week, from

195
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: half to half within a game. He's always so unpredictable,

196
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 5: always keeps the defense honest. Then you go to Sean

197
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 5: McVay and Mike Laflour talked about this yesterday, how every

198
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: offseason Sean McVay will strip it down. So like you know,

199
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: you take the car analogy, you're taking it in the garage,

200
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: you take out the engine, right, you're gonna rebuild it,

201
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 5: put it up on blocks. That's what a Sean McVay

202
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 5: offense of staff does in the offseason. So, you know what,

203
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 5: I feel good about Mike Lafleur's experience at coming in

204
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: as the first time head coach play caller to be

205
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 5: the guy to design this offense from scratch with players

206
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 5: he's learning on film every single day, has a familiarity

207
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 5: from playing against this team twice.

208
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 8: A year every year.

209
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 5: But you know what, if you had to hire someone

210
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 5: to go ahead and build an offense from scratch, it

211
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 5: would seem to me Lafleoor is imminently qualified.

212
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 4: You have your what Laflour talked about, your foundational aspects,

213
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: what you hope to lay the foundation and then you

214
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: build upon that and if you have to, you would adjust,

215
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: much like the Rams did last season when all of

216
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 4: a sudden they became a heavy, three tight end offense.

217
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: Very successful at it, but talked about that wasn't the

218
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: plan going into twenty twenty five. It just kind of

219
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: morphed into it because of where they were on the standings,

220
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: and obviously injuries dictated a change offensively.

221
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. The best coaches are the ones that adapt

222
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: what they have to do to fit the talent that's available.

223
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: And so, you know, I think the last couple of months,

224
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: what you what you're what really has been happening is

225
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: Michael Lafleur has been breaking it down behind closed doors

226
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: and then trying to build it back up with figuring out,

227
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: you know what we're looking at the roster, forecasting where

228
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: the roster is going to be. Obviously the draft will

229
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: have a big part in that. But with the assets

230
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: that we have, with the players that we have, what

231
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: type of offense are we going to run? And what's

232
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: the terminology going to be? You know, because he pulls

233
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: right from McVeigh system, from Shanahan's system, so this this

234
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: could be kind of a hybrid type offensive scheme. But

235
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: also what's interesting is, with with all his history in

236
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: the NFC West, I see Mike Lafleur being a huge

237
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: help to Nick Rawlis and the defense and what that

238
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: will look like and tinkering with that year over year

239
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: and what that defense will look like next year.

240
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: They've had conversations Mike Laflora and Nick Rallis. Laflour brought

241
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 4: that up during the breakfast on Monday, and I think

242
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: that relationship is only going to get better and stronger.

243
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 4: Maybe to Rob's point, Paul as far as, Okay, this

244
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: is what we saw from Afar on the Rams sideline.

245
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 4: Here's how we countered. Now you figure out a counter

246
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 4: to that.

247
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: I mean, if I'm Kyle Shannan and Sean McVay, I'm wondering,

248
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 5: wait a minute, how well does he know what I

249
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 5: like to run? How well is he going to be

250
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 5: able to advise his defensive coordinator to stop my scheme

251
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: and what I'm trying to do. And if I'm Mike

252
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 5: McDonald up in Seattle, guess what the Rams did in

253
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 5: those last two games. They put four hundred and fifty

254
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 5: and over five hundred total yards on that Seattle defense,

255
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,119
Speaker 5: which was one of the best in the league obviously,

256
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 5: so I think that that's on the radar for the

257
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: other three head coaches.

258
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: We talk more about miche lafore and the topic that

259
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: will not go away.

260
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 8: That's quarterback.

261
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: Next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio.

262
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: Network for Sette calling for the shotgun step deep drop

263
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: seven steps, throws deep middle of the field and the

264
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 2: catch is made inside the ten yards line by Trey McBride.

265
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: He's tackled at the eighth, but it's the first in goal.

266
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: After each twenty five yard pass play, I'm third and

267
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: seventeen Prisett takes, he'll drop back. It's a pass play,

268
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: a boot to the right, throws to the right and

269
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: it's caught by McBride and he secures it for the

270
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: touchdown as he goes.

271
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 8: To the ground.

272
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: Brissett, with six of six on that drive that was impressive,

273
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: sets up deep and the Falconal steps up to run.

274
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: Farside gets rid of the pass at the last second,

275
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: caught on the far side for a first down. Higgins

276
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: half the thirty twenty five penn down to the twenty

277
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,479
Speaker 2: three a gain of twenty four And how about Jacoby

278
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: Forsett scrambling on the play but keeping it alive and

279
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: throwing it downfield for the first down. You can't say

280
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: enough about Jacoby percent and what he's been able to

281
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: do today.

282
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 4: Started twelve of fourteen games played last season, finished with

283
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 4: career high numbers in six different categories, including completion percentage,

284
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: passing yards, and passing touchdowns. Jacoby Brissett's in twenty twenty five,

285
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: and we think at least perhaps on paper nothing's been announced,

286
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: but QB one going into twenty twenty six, then you've

287
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 4: got Gardner, Minshew Keaten Slovis, and perhaps a fourth in

288
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: the draft that is to be seen.

289
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 8: But it was the.

290
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: First question, and there were several questions Paul directed to

291
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 4: Mike Lafleura during the annual league meeting and Laflora's availability

292
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: on Monday. First question about Kyler, wishing him all the bests,

293
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: and then it dive into why Jacoby, why Gardner, mintche

294
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: you and what do you want in a quarterback with

295
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 4: your offense that you are going to run in twenty

296
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: twenty six.

297
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 5: I mean, Craig, you're ignoring Ty Simpson and number three overall,

298
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what your guys. That's what your guy

299
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 5: Charles Davis has in his latest mock draft. So you know,

300
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 5: let's I mean, come on, the elephant in the room here. Look,

301
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: here's here's the situation Micha laflor talking about, and we're

302
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: gonna hear from him just the experience he has in

303
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 5: the room. To me, is it right for a rookie quarterback?

304
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: Abs a stink and loutely. I don't know who, I

305
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 5: don't know where it might come, but I'm pretty dang

306
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 5: confident they want to put a rookie quarterback in that

307
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 5: room with all that experience, all that NFL equity between

308
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett Gardner Minshew. To hear Mike Lafloor talk about,

309
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: and he's more knowledgeable about Gardner Minshew than we realized.

310
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 5: Just what a baller and you know how how into

311
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: the game Gardner Minshew is. You know, there's a lot

312
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 5: of work ethic, there's a lot of football IQ in

313
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: that room right now that I think would rub off

314
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 5: real well on any rookie quarterback experience.

315
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 4: Not lacking within that room. Jacobi's got over one hundred games,

316
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 4: Gardner over sixty games, and I think that was brought

317
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: up a couple of different times, Monday, Rob because as

318
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: a first time head coach, Yeah, he doesn't have working

319
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: knowledge with either one of those quarterbacks, at least on

320
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 4: the NFL level. But from afar, he's watched those two

321
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: and has sees something in them that potentially could be,

322
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: in Lafleur's words, a good fit within the offense here.

323
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the signing of Gardner Minshew kind of,

324
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: if you're reading the tea leaves, kind of indicates that, Okay,

325
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 3: we have a really good backup here for Jacoby Brissett.

326
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: We're probably gonna draft a quarterback that that's gonna maybe

327
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: require a year or two to learn. And and so

328
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: you know, if they if they take it, if Michael

329
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: Leaflor finds his quarterback guy that he loves in this

330
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: draft and the Cardinals are able to get that player,

331
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 3: he's gonna probably sit. He's gonna sit behind Jacoby Brissett,

332
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 3: and then you got a capable backup and Gardner Minshew.

333
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 8: Ready, I mean there are.

334
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 5: Two kinds of backups in this league, proven and unknown.

335
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 5: Last year, when Kyler Murray was your franchise quarterback, you

336
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 5: signed a proven backup quarterback in Jacoby Brissett. Now that

337
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett ostensibly is QB one, you want to proven

338
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 5: backup Gardner Minshew. Does that preclude you from making other

339
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 5: moves or additions to the room. No, but at least

340
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 5: right now you can go into the season with a

341
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 5: QB one and QB two that you know you can

342
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 5: win with.

343
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 4: How about we hear from the Cardinals head coach first

344
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 4: Micha Lafloor talking about Jacoby Brissett again has not worked

345
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 4: with him, but believes that Jacoby brings everything needed to

346
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: be a quarterback within this offense.

347
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 8: Excited to work with him.

348
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 6: You know they'll be getting here on the seventh for

349
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 6: you know, to start of Phase one, and I can't lie,

350
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 6: so I just like to tell him, like, dude, like

351
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 6: for years, I've always thought you'd be a really good

352
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 6: fit for this system. He's I mean, you guys see

353
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 6: how big he is back there, his stature of the

354
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 6: play action game. I think he does a good job

355
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 6: of getting the ball, you know, out of his hands

356
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 6: when there is some trouble with the pocket.

357
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 8: So it'd be fun.

358
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: So that's Lafleor on Jacoby Brissett now working wise within

359
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 4: the NFL. No Laflora and Gardner Minshew have not crossed paths,

360
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: But before Gardner got into the NFL, there was some

361
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: interaction back of the twenty nineteen Senior Bowl when Laflora

362
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 4: was on the forty nine ers staff and helped work

363
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: the Senior Bowl. Something la Floor brought up at the

364
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: annual league meeting on Monday.

365
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 6: This guy is a maniac.

366
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 8: Now it was.

367
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 6: It was good and he just reached out to me

368
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 6: and wanted the playbook and then he could we do

369
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 6: a FaceTime And I sat outside, just had kind of

370
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 6: my stuff out there, and I mean, I don't know

371
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 6: if we went four hours, but it sure felt that way,

372
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 6: and it was really cool, and it was it told

373
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 6: me a lot about who that guy is. And again,

374
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 6: sometimes you know guys that over prepare, they kind of

375
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: overthink it too, and that's that's not him, that's just

376
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 6: his process.

377
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 4: That extended to this offseason because Lafleur also brought up

378
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 4: that Minshew when he was signed here for the Cardinals

379
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 4: Day one, wanted the playbook, wanted as much information as

380
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: possible to dive right in now. Again, the offense right

381
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: now is still a little bit of a work in progress.

382
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 4: But how much can you tell me right now so

383
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: I can get up to speed or maybe even a

384
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 4: little bit of ahead, because I'm coming into a brand

385
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 4: new situation.

386
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, slow down, Gardner.

387
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: We don't even We're not We're still on page three here,

388
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 3: we haven't even put the playbook together yet. But you know,

389
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: I love I love his enthusiasm and his desire to

390
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 3: get ahead of things and get ahead of this offense

391
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: and really to absorb as much as he can, as

392
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: soon as he can. And so you have to respect that.

393
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: And you know, I love what Lafleur said about jacobset

394
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 3: that that he is tailor made for this offense, that

395
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: he fits it, and the type of quarterback that Jacoby

396
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: Brissett is, And and I feel the same way about

397
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 3: the offensive line. I think I think the offensive line

398
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: love blocking for Jacoby Brissett or a quarterback like him,

399
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: because it's predictable. They know where he's gonna be. If

400
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: it's a five step drop, it's a seven step step drop,

401
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: they know where he's gonna be. He's gonna pu, he's

402
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: gonna move up in the pocket. So those those blocking

403
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: angles are are predetermined, and they know where their quarterback

404
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: is gonna be. It makes their job much easier and

405
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: they play with more confidence.

406
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 5: And they know he'll hang in the pocket. They know

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 5: he will wait till the last possible moment to get

408
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 5: rid of the ball, let a receiver have that extra

409
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 5: half step, get some separation, get downfield, and they respect that.

410
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 8: We all know.

411
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 5: We know that just the way the offensive line spoke

412
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 5: about Jacoby Brissett, just with our own eyes witnessing some

413
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 5: of the vicious hits he took hanging in the pocket.

414
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 5: How he'd sort of come to the sideline and the

415
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 5: trainers be all over him being shake him off. He's on, Oh,

416
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 5: just give me a minute, give me a cup of

417
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 5: Gator eight, and then he'd be back out for the

418
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: next series. Think about everything Jacoby Brissett didn't have last year,

419
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: an intact, consistent offensive line, thirteen different offensive linemen used

420
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 5: by the Cardinals, eight different starting offensive line combinations by

421
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 5: the end of the year. He didn't have a running game,

422
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 5: He had a fifth and six string running backs. You

423
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 5: had a team that was behind quite a bit, so

424
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 5: they were one dimensional going to the air. I think

425
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 5: everyone looks forward to seeing Jacoby Brissett if you can

426
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 5: upgrade the offensive line, give him a formidable, irrespectable run game. Okay,

427
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: because once again he has a historically low interception percentage.

428
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 4: You bring up the stat a lot, Paul about the

429
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 4: Cardinals last season as an offense, no one attempted more passes,

430
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 4: no one attempted fewer rushes. And we go back and

431
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 4: how many times did we see Jacoby drop back forty

432
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 4: plus times a game? But the one game in which

433
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 4: it was under forty at Dallas Monday Night Football, the

434
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 4: one game Jacoby Brisset won because the offense won, played

435
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: with a lead and there was somewhat of a balanced

436
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 4: attack throwing and rushing. Other than that, Jacoby didn't have

437
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: that at his disposal last season.

438
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great point. It's a great recollection. And

439
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: you know what, it's a direct correlation to why you

440
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: got the win. You were a balanced offense. You had

441
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 5: the ability to stay balanced for the course of the game.

442
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 5: So now I think no one is looking forward more

443
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: to the offseason upgrades and to perhaps this scheme. Then

444
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 5: as Jacoby Brissett and the weapons, of course, they see

445
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 5: some of the numbers that forty nine ers and rams

446
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 5: receivers have put up over the years.

447
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 4: So we mentioned who's in the room and the possibility

448
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 4: of adding to that room. Talking about the quarterback room,

449
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 4: one more from Micha laflor yesterday at the Annual League

450
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 4: Meeting on what he looked for in a college quarterback.

451
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 6: One toughness, Like if you can't sit back in the

452
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 6: pocket and you're a non no flinch guy, or you're

453
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 6: flinching back there, you've got no chance, right, So just

454
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: the ability to sit back there. Now, what you got

455
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 6: to decipher is a lot of times guys aren't in

456
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 6: those pockets, you know, particularly the smaller school whatever it is,

457
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 6: because you're not going against those pass rushes. But there

458
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 6: are a handful that you can find that you got

459
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 6: to say, you know, is that it or is it not?

460
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 6: Then natural thrower, like is it coming out? So you

461
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 6: can pack all that decision making, timing, accuraciving. There's so

462
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 6: many factors that go into quarterback play. But if you

463
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 6: don't have toughness, you can't sit in that pocket. You're

464
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 6: not a natural thrower. It's hard to play in the sleep.

465
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: And just think of the quarterbacks that Laflora has worked with,

466
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: A Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan. Guys who will stand in

467
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 4: that pocket. We just discussed Jacoby Brissette standing in that

468
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 4: pocket and then being able to move around in that

469
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: pocket to buy a little bit more time. More times

470
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 4: than not, those quotas are going to be the ones

471
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: that are successful as opposed to guys with some athleticism

472
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 4: but don't stay in the pocket a whole lot.

473
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I wonder these traits that that

474
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: coaches look for, that Lafleur looks for in a quarterback

475
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: coming out of college, is the college game preparing these

476
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: quarterbacks for that type of game, because you know, so

477
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: much in the college game is out of shotgun and

478
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: quarterbacks moving around and using their athleticism. But you know,

479
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 3: that athleticism kind of evens out when you get to

480
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: the next level. When you get to the NFL, all

481
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're not able to outrun a two

482
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty five pound defensive end. So, you know,

483
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: you look at some of these quarterbacks that are in

484
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: this draft, and beyond ty Simpson, there's some guys that

485
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: have some.

486
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 8: Of those traits.

487
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: So got some big, big quarterbacks with with big arms

488
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: and all the talent, but maybe for whatever reason. Last

489
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: season they fell off a little bit, didn't didn't have

490
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 3: the best of seasons. But these guys, there are some

491
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 3: players here that have some good talent.

492
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 5: So Rob, what you're saying is when the Cardinals take

493
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 5: Carson Beck, a top round three, you know, at six

494
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 5: foot five, big arm, lots of experience, forty plus collegiate starts, Georgia,

495
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 5: Miami all the way to the National title Game. So

496
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 5: you're saying, get ready because that's a good fit for

497
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 5: Micha Lafleur.

498
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it would be a bad fit. I

499
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: like Drew Aller, you know, club Neck, you got new Smyers.

500
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: So look, there's some decent quarterbacks here. There are just

501
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: a little like diamonds in the rough.

502
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: I think, well, did you happen to see the news

503
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 4: reported earlier by the NFL Network, a reported top thirty

504
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: visit for the Arizona Cardinals. Two quarterbacks did not? I Simpson,

505
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 4: Carson Beck there we go.

506
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 8: All right.

507
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 5: I'm telling you right now, if you can get Carson

508
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 5: back there, pick number sixty five. He has all those starts.

509
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 5: A year and a half ago, to start the twenty

510
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: four season, he was viewed as the number one quarterback

511
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 5: in the draft, just saying.

512
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 4: Carson Beck also reportedly meeting or having visits with the

513
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 4: Dolphins and Steelers as well. So it is the silly

514
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 4: season is we like to call it here ahead of

515
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 4: the draft. It's the Arizona Cardinoles Radio network.

516
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: A first down per set back to pass Rose left

517
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: into the end zone. Michael Wilson. Oh, he caught it

518
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 2: and it's a touchdown. Michael Wilson had Lasseter all over

519
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: him and he came down with that ball for six.

520
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 8: What uh catch?

521
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 11: He talked about this. The system is going to be

522
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 11: built organically around the players, but I'm sure he's gonna

523
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 11: take and sprinkle in a lot of the McVay system

524
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 11: and the Shanahan system. It seems like all those guys

525
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 11: that played for those organizations played really well and maximize

526
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 11: their playability and their play speed and honestly turning the superstars.

527
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 11: Looking at me, Marvin Trey like, I'm excited to, you know,

528
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 11: get with an offensive guy who hopefully can you know,

529
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 11: maximum as all of our skill sets and I'm so

530
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 11: excited to get to work.

531
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Michael Olson is definitely excited, he sees as

532
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: does everyone else in that Cardinals wide receiver room or

533
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 4: tight end room or running back room, sees where Michae

534
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: Laflor came from Los Angeles, the Rams, how successful they

535
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 4: were offensively, and players some in the building rehabbing, but

536
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 4: all players will be back in the building next week.

537
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 4: The offseason program strength and conditioning begins a week from today.

538
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 4: There is a veteran optional voluntary mini camp the week

539
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: of the NFL drafts the Landatory. Hey, when you have

540
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: a new boss, in this case a new head coach. Yeah, yeah,

541
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 4: it's voluntary, but who's here, who's not here? You want

542
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 4: to make that first impression, not just Michaelaflor, but those

543
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: players to the new coaches.

544
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 3: Well, especially if the new coach wants to establish a

545
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: little long order here, you know, as some backup not

546
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: showing up for the first voluntary training session and gets

547
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: cut or something.

548
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 8: I don't know, but I do wonder.

549
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, there'll be a moment maybe not at this

550
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 5: point on the calendar, but in training camp where you know,

551
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 5: he makes an example out of someone. Bruce Arians yelling

552
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 5: at oh, I don't know, Larry Fitzgerald three days into

553
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 5: camp because Larry had made a mental mistake for the

554
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: second or third time, you know there might be a

555
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 5: moment like that. I know, in hindsight, Jonathan Gannon three

556
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 5: years ago came in quote heavy because ownership felt like

557
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 5: there was an accountability issue coming off the previous regime.

558
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 5: He got everyone's attention. And to your point, Craig, they're

559
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: well aware there's a new boss, new decision maker. And

560
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: I mean, you tell me, Rob, you played for enough

561
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: new coaches and went to enough new teams, there's got

562
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 5: to be a sense among players. Okay, yes, here's my resume,

563
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 5: but you have to prove it again to a whole

564
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 5: new set of eyes and decision makers who are out

565
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 5: on that field.

566
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 8: Right.

567
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially when you're going to a new team as

568
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 3: a free agent or just a new draft pick, you

569
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 3: want to do everything you can to to put your

570
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: best foot forward to impress the new coaching staff. And

571
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: you know, it's a lot of it too. That just

572
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: depends on the culture that's there and that's established. If

573
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: if nobody if everybody scatters when the when the off

574
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 3: season comes and nobody's around until mandatory mini camp, that's

575
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: a that's a tough culture to really, you know, gain

576
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: some momentum, uh with the new guys. So I think,

577
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: I think what they have here with Arizona and their

578
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: their participation in the off season program is significant, and

579
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: it's they've done a good job of really building that

580
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: and that's that's something to continue to build on.

581
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 5: I mean, other than Buddha Baker, Trey McBride, Josh Sweat,

582
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 5: those are the only three made men in that locker

583
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 5: room who are automatically going to be plugging featured starters

584
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: right from the get Even a Michael Wilson finished with

585
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 5: a flourish But is he wide receiver one? Is he

586
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 5: wide receiver two? He's up for a contract. He's gonna

587
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 5: have to come out and continue to prove himself.

588
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 4: So there's excitement and then also some nervousness. You're unsure

589
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: about your role despite of what you might have done

590
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: a year ago or five years ago. But you're here now,

591
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 4: guys that are returning, how do I fit? Am I

592
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 4: gonna continue to do what I do? Am I gonna

593
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: be asked to do something differently? And if I am,

594
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: is it gonna make me? You need to let me

595
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: know how it's gonna make me a better player? Because

596
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 4: now we hear players want to know the why They

597
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: don't want to be just told what to do. But

598
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 4: why am I doing this? Not maybe selfishly for my

599
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 4: own benefit, but how does this help us as.

600
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 3: A team, Especially new players, I think they want the

601
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: answer to that before they signed, before they'd agree to

602
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: to a new team. They want to know how you're

603
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 3: gonna use me, right, you know, because not only is

604
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: that important for the success of myself individually but for

605
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: the team. But you know that individually, you know that

606
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: that's gonna determine how I'm used, how much I'm used,

607
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 3: what's gonna be my success, and that's gonna everything builds

608
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: towards the next contract. And so yeah, players want to

609
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 3: know how they're gonna be used, especially when you have

610
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: a new coaching staff coming in.

611
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 4: Some of this, though, is still unknown. Specifically when you

612
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 4: talk about this offense, Yeah, you might have an idea,

613
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 4: you put it on paper, but is it successful when

614
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 4: you get on the football field. At the annual league meeting,

615
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 4: Michael Floor asked, where is the offense at this point?

616
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 8: Here?

617
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: Late March, I like, where.

618
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 8: We're at right now?

619
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 6: Again, it's just pen on paper right now, right, it's

620
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 6: just visio. Like that's not real football, you know, and

621
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 6: what we'll tell these guys is, I mean, these are

622
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 6: foundational aspects. This is the way we're going to operate.

623
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 6: Here's the plays, this is how we make it come

624
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: to life. And we have to show them and we

625
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 6: have to rep it thousands of times to the point

626
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 6: that they don't even know they're reping anymore, that they're

627
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 6: just doing it, you know. So there's a lot of

628
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 6: work to be done between now in September, but we've

629
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 6: got time.

630
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 4: Did you happen to catch Paul when I can't remember

631
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 4: if it was Darren or Zach or someone might have

632
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 4: asked about the skilled position players and a James Carner

633
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: and Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson. And then the answer

634
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 4: Micha laflor brings up Tip Riman and how excited he

635
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: is to have one, hopefully knock on wood, Tip is healthy,

636
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 4: and then how Tip figures into this offense along the

637
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, a why tight end and how much

638
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 4: he might be able to be utilized. So that was

639
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: a name that I was not expected to hear over

640
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 4: the thirty minutes on Monday, But it was Lafleur who

641
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 4: brought him up, not asked about So if you're watching film,

642
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 4: if you're coach laflor and you're coming from a team

643
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 4: that led the world in thirteen personnel a year ago,

644
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: and you're seeing Big eighty seven Tip middle name, who

645
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: wants some Ryman, and he's out there and he's destroying dudes,

646
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: and you're thinking, oh, man, you know what this guy,

647
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 4: this guy could be a real epicenter or lynchpin in

648
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 4: my offense. We can run behind this guy. We can

649
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: get this guy in motion. He has good enough athleticism.

650
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: We know Elijah Higgins of the Phoenix open with Trey McBride,

651
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 4: he was smiling wide because he's envisioning how the three

652
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 4: of them are going to be used as a trio

653
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 4: based on how the rams us thirteen personnel a year ago.

654
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 4: So no doubt, no doubt that caught Mike Lafleur's eyes.

655
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 4: So everyone's just holding that Tip Ryman is ready to

656
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 4: go and start, ready to come off the line and

657
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 4: pick up where he left off a year ago. On

658
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 4: that same topic, as far as trying to get an

659
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 4: idea of what this offense might look like again from

660
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: Afar but Tyler Algier, one of the first signings reported

661
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: signings before it became official, was brought here for a

662
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: specific reason and has no experience under Mike laflor But again,

663
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 4: watching from afar, what Tyler Algier expects in this Lafloor.

664
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 7: Offense, excided about the opportunity. I think, obviously we've seen

665
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 7: how successful the Rams are, so being able to have

666
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 7: coach Lafleur here and she being able to possibly possibly replicated,

667
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 7: I think that's the goal. I think they're bringing in

668
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 7: a lot of guys to build that, so I think

669
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 7: just building a team just to get some wins. So

670
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 7: I think that's the most important thing.

671
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 4: It's part of a larger conversation Paul and I had

672
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 4: with Algier on Cardinals cover two after Algier was formally introduced.

673
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 4: But a lot of players you're hearing the same thing,

674
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 4: Michael Wilson off the top of this segment, I see

675
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 4: what the Rams did so successfully, can it be replicated

676
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 4: here or at least put in place for us to

677
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 4: try to be successful? Because right now, Rob, that's all

678
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 4: you have with a first time head coach. There's nothing else.

679
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 4: There's no game film, Like what kind of a head

680
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 4: coach is Laflour going to be? What kind of a

681
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 4: play caller. Is he going to be Maybe you go

682
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 4: back and look at what he he did with the Jets,

683
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 4: but that was several years ago, and you hope that

684
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 4: he has learned from those lessons, the good and the bad,

685
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: to become his own version of a head coach in

686
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: the NFL.

687
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, Tyler Algier does not have fumbles.

688
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 3: You know, that's something that this guy just doesn't do.

689
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: So I think he's going to be a great addition

690
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 3: to the running back room and just a piggyback off

691
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: what you said about Elijah Higgins out at the Phoenix Open.

692
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 3: I actually talked to him out there at the Special

693
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: Olympics putting contest and he was giving me breaking down

694
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: for me the stats of all the top four tight

695
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 3: ends for the Rams last year. And not only in

696
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: terms of their their receptions, in their yards and their touchdowns,

697
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: but they're their usage right, their snap counts sure, and

698
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 3: giving me like numbers.

699
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 8: I mean, this guy did go to Stanford.

700
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 5: He's got all the targets, he's got all the pass percentages, everything,

701
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 5: in no doubt about that. I mean, they're well aware

702
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 5: of those guys are getting towards the point in their

703
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 5: contracts where they are in line for a payday. So

704
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: if they can get bigger usage usually ends up in

705
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 5: bigger dollars and a bigger bottom line. So I did

706
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 5: ask one on one yesterday for bird watch this week,

707
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 5: the signing of Tyler Aljier head coach Michael Lafleur, his style.

708
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 5: What does this say about the style of run game

709
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 5: you want to employ? He smiled, didn't quite answer it directly,

710
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 5: but he smiled. There's no doubt they want to go

711
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 5: north south and cram it vertical.

712
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 4: Coati's ahead to this weekend Cardinals Birdwatch and an exclusive

713
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 4: interview with you and Danny Shrek with the Cardinals head coach.

714
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 5: You know, he made called an audible, made a little

715
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 5: time for us. He had a packed itinerary, but we

716
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 5: appreciate him.

717
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: The Q and A on the fly. Everyone's got time

718
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 4: for Danny. I'm not sure about Paul, but everyone has

719
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 4: time for Danny Shrek.

720
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 5: Facts.

721
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 4: More on the annual league meeting when we come back,

722
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 4: and potential of a joint practice with the Packers this offseason.

723
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 4: That's next here on the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network.

724
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Land bow.

725
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 8: Man.

726
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 4: I wish i'd have known.

727
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 8: That was coming.

728
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 4: WHOA, whoa?

729
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: Did you know that was coming?

730
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 8: I had no idea. I looked up and all of

731
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 8: a sudden, a couple.

732
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 3: Of f eighteen hornets right over the stadium.

733
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 12: I'm surprised you're still alive after that. WHOA, Hello, get

734
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 12: a doctor in here. I had no idea if that

735
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 12: was coming.

736
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 8: I believe that's buzzing the tower.

737
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 4: Memo to Dave Pash if he is in Green Bay

738
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 4: for the reported joint practice, the NFL just needs its

739
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 4: stamp of approval. It's gonna happen Cardinals and Packers a

740
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 4: joint practice, perhaps ahead of a preseason game. By the way,

741
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 4: that flyover in two thousand and six, Pash is not

742
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: going to have to worry about to fly over during a.

743
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 8: Joint practice ball.

744
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: I don't think anyone has to worry about that happened.

745
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 5: I almost went under the bench on the sideline, and

746
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 5: the Green Bay press box is atop the stadium, so

747
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 5: you can only imagine. Yes, in the audio there brought

748
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 5: it to life. That was very real, a very real reaction,

749
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 5: real time reaction. Wisconsin native day Pash, though he can

750
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 5: go back a little joint practice action there in the green.

751
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: Bay area big man on campus.

752
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 5: It'll be good for Dave. It'll be good he can

753
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 5: come back, you know as an ESPN national guy and

754
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 5: flex a little bit on the hometown guys.

755
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 4: Yep, still some details that need to be work. Data

756
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 4: was originally reported a few weeks ago from a Green

757
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 4: Bay reporter. Micha Laflora asked about it on Monday at

758
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 4: the annual league meeting and pretty much confirm that, yes,

759
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 4: it's going to happen, because, as Lafleur mentioned, he likes

760
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: what happens when you have the ability to go up

761
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 4: against another opponent during training camp and likes these joint practices.

762
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 6: I love joint practices, you know, because you get to

763
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 6: hit somebody else, you get to see, you know, somewhat

764
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 6: of a different scheme. Now, I know someone's gonna probably

765
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 6: ass well JG's kind of probably a similar scheme. They're

766
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 6: gonna do whatever Green Bay is gonna do now, you know,

767
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: and he's gonna fit it to their players, and yeah,

768
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 6: the scheme and all that, but we're going against different players,

769
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 6: different corners, different deal, we're blocking different guys. Training camp

770
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 6: is long, and so for the same team to be

771
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 6: hitting each other for that many weeks in a row.

772
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 6: You've got to break it up. You just have to,

773
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 6: because inevitably, we all know what's gonna happen after you

774
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 6: keep hitting your own brother for a while.

775
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 4: Speaking of brothers, Yeah, the storylines are gonna write themselves

776
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 4: that particular week or however many days the Cardinals are

777
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 4: in Green Bay. But you got Micha Laflor Matt lafor

778
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon on Matt's staff. So yeah, it's it's gonna

779
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: be a lot of a reunion if you will, But

780
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 4: there is work that needs to be done during those

781
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 4: time together.

782
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, And I think a lot of teams are

783
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 3: starting to do this. It's it's a true way to

784
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 3: evaluate talent because your players, when they're going against each

785
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: other in training camp, they get used to each other.

786
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 3: They understand each other's tendencies. So you start to cheat.

787
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: You start to know what you're the guy across from

788
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 3: you who's gonna do. And so when you're going against

789
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: guys that you don't normally see, that you don't see

790
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: every week, you know, it's a tougher and a truer

791
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 3: test of really individual talent. And I see a lot

792
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 3: of teams doing this in advance of a preseason game,

793
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 3: and it just makes so much sense.

794
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 5: You know, there's a school of thought that is the

795
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 5: NFL goes to eighteen regular season games because it's coming

796
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 5: and there's two preseason games that they will start to

797
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 5: televise some of these joint practices in August, and that.

798
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: Is like a spring game exact college.

799
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 5: I mean, if people are going to sit around and

800
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 5: watch the combine for four or five days, you think

801
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 5: they watch a joint practice where two teams are going

802
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 5: to go against it and you know, tempers might be

803
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 5: flaring in any moment there's actually real hitting going on.

804
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 5: I think that that is in the near future of

805
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 5: the NFL when it comes to this insatiable appetite for

806
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 5: more and more content, that is something that, don't be surprised,

807
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 5: might end up on the airwaves in the real near future.

808
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 4: Well, with a joint practice as well, it's a controlled environment.

809
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: And these coaches, and we've heard previous Cardinals head coaches

810
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 4: speak about this that ahead of the joint practice, whether

811
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: it's one or two days, they'll get together. All right,

812
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: we're kind of thin in this area depending on injuries,

813
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 4: so let's kind of go easy on this area of

814
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 4: the game, or it's we really need to work on

815
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 4: our defense or our pas sets, or really bring it

816
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 4: to us and bring the blitz, or offensively, just run

817
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 4: what you do. Pretend it's week one, and you can

818
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 4: kind of go back and forth. You help me, I

819
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: help you, and together we'll be in a better place

820
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 4: after the joint practice is ahead of the preseason game.

821
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's not a lot of secrets, right. The players

822
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 3: don't know what coming, but the coaching staffs they all

823
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: get together and they go through, as you said, and

824
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: kind of come to an understanding of what's really what

825
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 3: they want to accomplish out of each each drill, each period,

826
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 3: what they want to accomplish, and how the level I

827
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 3: guess of intensity that they're going to go at. And

828
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 3: so you know, if you have it for multiple days

829
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 3: and multiple padded practices, I think these players they love it.

830
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 3: First of all, the players do love it. They enjoy

831
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: it because they get tired of hitting their own teammates.

832
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 3: And then you know, I think it's very beneficial, as

833
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 3: I said before, for the coaching staff in terms of evaluation.

834
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, the old saying exposure or get exposed. You go

835
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 5: back three years ago at Minnesota, the Cardinals came out

836
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 5: of that two day session against the Vikings and said,

837
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 5: you know what, we need to bolster the quarterback room

838
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 5: and they trade it for Josh Dobbs as they waited

839
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 5: for Kyler Murray to come back from a knee injury.

840
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 5: So you can get out against a different team and

841
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you know, live sessions for the

842
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 5: most part, where you don't know what's coming offense or defense,

843
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 5: and you can look like an entirely different player.

844
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 4: And to your point, Paul, about perhaps potentially televising these

845
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 4: joint practices, because how many times have we heard players

846
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 4: your starters, your first unit, your key rotational pieces. They'll

847
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 4: go full speed during that joint practice Wednesday, Thursday or

848
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 4: Thursday Friday, and then they'll be spectators on the sideline

849
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 4: for the game itself. Now that's true of their own

850
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 4: benefit because they got in their work for that particular week.

851
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 4: They don't need to go overboard for a preseason game.

852
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 4: But the potential of a spring game quote unquote in

853
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: the NFL, that could be something that gets discussed because,

854
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 4: as you said, it's all about content. How do you

855
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 4: maximize the content when if you go from seventeen games

856
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 4: to eighteen with another bye week, and now the players

857
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 4: are saying, right, what are you giving us? Well, we'll

858
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 4: reduce preseason games.

859
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll go one further. What if you took

860
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 5: Cardinals Packers and you put it in Lambeau a joint

861
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 5: practice for at least one big, glorious joint practice for

862
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 5: two hours, You sold tickets, you televised it. Are you

863
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 5: telling me Packer Nation would not show up for that?

864
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 5: In Green Bay, wisconsinct.

865
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 8: It would be packed.

866
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 5: Absolutely, they come out there, they watch the drills. Oh

867
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 5: wait a minute, we get a line D line Packers

868
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 5: against Cardinals. You get some of the seven on seven,

869
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 5: Buddha Baker going against Jordan Love, Are you kidding me?

870
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 8: Get the music going the Bronts.

871
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 5: You put that on sale right now, it'd be sold

872
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 5: out by this weekend.

873
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 4: Well, let's bring it full circle here on this edition
